Book Bunch Reads The Secret of Platform 13 for October
About the Book
A forgotten
door on an abandoned railway platform is the entrance to a magical
kingdom—an island where humans live happily with mermaids, ogres, and
other wonderful creatures. Carefully hidden from the world, the Island
is only accessible when the door opens for nine days every nine years.
When the beastly Mrs. Trottle kidnaps the Island's young prince, it's up
to a strange band of rescuers to save him. But can the rescuers—an
ogre, a hag, a wizard, and a fey—sneak around London unnoticed? Fans of
Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, and E. Nesbit will delight in this comic
fantasy.
Odge
Gribble, a young hag, joins an old wizard, a gentle fey, and a giant
ogre on a journey from their magical island kingdom to London through a
tunnel which opens every nine years for nine days, to try and rescue the
young prince who had been stolen as an infant nine years before.
